The Steelers are reportedly eyeing Los Angeles Chargers wideout Ladd McConkey as a potential trade target, according to Jason La Canfora. McConkey’s production has dipped—13 catches in five games this season and 66 receptions in 2025 after a standout rookie year—while the Chargers sit 0-6, making a trade plausible before the deadline.

NFL insider Jason La Canfora predicts the Steelers will be active at the trade deadline, looking to add another playmaker after acquiring DK Metcalf. A scout flags Chargers receiver Ladd McConkey—who posted 13 catches for 200 yards and a TD in a 0‑6 Chargers start—or Jaguars rookie Brian Thomas Jr., a 2024 Pro Bowler now down to nine catches for 105 yards this season, as potential targets.

McCarthy praised Anderson’s flexibility, likening him to former Cowboys starter Connor McGovern, and noted his potential as a pass‑catching option.
